Flood Waters
What’s that old saying?
water under the bridge....
It’s supposed to mean
what's in the past
is past
no problem
don't worry
it's gone, over,
forgotten....
But have you ever
looked under a bridge?
I mean, have you ever
taken the time
to jump over that railing,
slide down the embankment,
crawl under and around
those cement pillars?
Debris, flotsam,
logs, refrigerators,
dead animals....
....shit
Now you tell me,
how is that water
supposed to flow freely again
with all that crap
blocking its path?
Whoever wrote that adage
never experienced a flood....
